Yes. Play this. I do not often suggest games that Xbawks fans rave about, but this is very much an exception (btw: I did play ME on a PC, so console experience may vary). A very good game. Im just eager now for Mass Effect 2.

....Mass Effect, which I got for my birthday (back in September) that I never even opened.

QUICK.

GameStop trade-in or should I open it and actually play it?

Play it, dude!!!

Seriously though, I have spent less time on my 360 recently, but the ONE game that I clocked some serious hours was this one, because even when you're not following the main story, there is so much cool stuff to do, and even if not on a mission, you can hope on your ship and explore some far off planet. It's definitely one of the best RPGs I have played in a long long time, and I am dying for a sequel.

Has to be one of the best games I've played on Xbox. The story line is great. It can get repetitive if you try to explore ALL the planets at one time. If you do it through out the story, it's not too bad.

Also if you're looking at Mass Effect 2 (for when it comes out), it is supposed to import all your achievements and personality into the new game...
